West Ella is a small village in the civil parish of Kirk Ella and West Ella west of Kirk Ella, within the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, on the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, approximately 6 miles (10 km) west of the city of Kingston upon Hull.
The village lies on West Ella Road, between Kirk Ella and Swanland - it was beautified by the owners the Sykes family in the 19th century, and as a consequence much of the area is now a conservation area, with many listed buildings. In the two decades after the end of the Second World War the village expanded, more than doubling the housing stock, mainly high quality detached dwellings, with much of the new housing along an additional road, Elveley Drive, running north.
The small village of West Ella is around 0.6 miles (1 km) roughly west of the traditional village centre of Kirk Ella; much of the village's housing is located on the east-west West Ella Road from Kirk Ella to Swanland, there is also housing north towards Riplingham Road along Elveley Drive. The village lies in the eastern foothills of the Yorkshire Wolds and is at between 40 and 60 metres (130 and 200 ft) above sea level, rising westward. Most of the village along West Ella Road is a conservation area, due to the picturesque nature of the village; the area is richely treed, and hedged with associated wildlife.
The village is separated from its neighbours on all side by open land, coppices and the golf course of Hull Golf Club. Directly west of the village is the route of the modern A164.
Together with the adjacent village of Kirk Ella, West Ella forms the civil parish of Kirk Ella and West Ella; and is within the Parliamentary constituency of Haltemprice and Howden.
